IZH 2125. Technical characteristics of IZH 2125. Reviews, prices, photos

The appearance of this car on light was a consequence of the general tendency in Europe to produce family cars. The first family car in European countries left the assembly line in 1965. The Renault 16 model shocked the European public. In 66 year the car deserved the status of "car of the year". It was a practical solution for individual use. The universals were much larger in size, and sometimes it was not very convenient to load them.

Meanwhile, in our country, too, inspired by the idea of family cars, but in the Soviet way. The result is IZH 2125. This car is a modified 412 "Moskvich" with a body - liftback, although at that time it was a real hatchback. The model was produced at the Izhevsk plant from 73 to 97 years.

History of creation

Among those who were dissatisfied with the very expensive project with Fiat, historians allot the Minister of Defense of the USSR. It was on his initiative that cars were launched at the defense enterprise "IzhMash". As in AvtoVAZ plants, the engineers and developers of Izh received a fully finished model, but a Soviet model. It was the car "Moskvich 408". Then came the 412th, and the plant put all available capacities into its mass production.

Engineers did not change the design of the newly created car. The rigidity of the body was only increased, and a radio was installed in the salon. Further the world saw "Izh-Moskvich 434", and then at the plant created the only own model - 2715.

Not really a hatchback

The history of the car IZH 2125 "Combi" begins in the late 60's. This is a completely domestic hatchback, although, to put it bluntly, it's not a hatchback. So the body is called not only with the fifth door, which is tilted. There must also be a shorter rear overhang. Due to this, compactness and agility are acquired, which is so important in European countries. But we have found that there is no need to shorten the car.

That's why the length of the body remained the same as that of the 412th. The luggage compartment has the same volume, and the rear window is more inclined. The frame has been modified in such a way that a larger angle of inclination and an inclined glazing rack can be used.

The model appeared together with the universal from VAZ. The machine "Moskvich" had similar characteristics and was designed to solve the same tasks. But the Combi had one big advantage. VAZ has created the sedan and the versatile person with identical load-carrying capacity. And on IZH the carrying capacity is increased towards the hatchback.

Took the car perfectly. The advantages were appreciated not only by the domestic, but also by the European motorist. By the way, the car was the first among the export models of this brand.

Combi

Creating this machine, the engineers tried not only to modernize the good that was laid in 412, but also set the task to expand consumer qualities, make it as universal as possible.

In the country there were constant social changes. The welfare and cultural level of society grew. People aspired to active rest, dreamed of traveling through their native country or traveling to nature. This is the best way to take into account when creating a car IZH 2125. It could easily be turned into cargo, passenger, tourist, passenger. In this car they managed to realize all the best that the sedan and wagon differ. It's a combination, or just a Combi. Look how the IZ 2125 looks. The photos of this car are presented in our article.

Differences from the base 412 version

The body is distinguished by a special shape of the rear part. The upper part is longer and has two non-opening side windows. The wall is equipped with a fifth door with telescopic mechanisms that can very reliably hold it. The rear part differs significantly from the numerous domestic wagons. It tilts not only aesthetic function, but also minimizes the contamination of the glass from behind.

Features of the body

Especially different is the "Moskvich" IZH "Combi" 2125 not only its rear, but also the front end. So, a new radiator grille, rectangular headlights, vertically placed lights of parking lights, turn indicators give the design a very peculiar look.

About this car said that this is a solid and reliable car. Yes, he is. Very praise the optics. Lamps in the headlights allow you to get a strong stream of light, which allows you to go quite confidently even on a dark night.

Universal require maximum sealing of body parts. So, the design uses a new sealing material, which does not let dust, dirt and moisture into the interior.

Salon

In the cabin first thing in the eye rushes a lot of elements aimed at improving traffic safety. The paneling of the instrument panel is made of elastic material. The same overlays on the hub of the steering wheel, the side racks. Also this material is used for door lining. The door handles are practically not protruding, the arms are very elastic.

As for comfort, here something went wrong with the engineers. For motorists, average growth in the cabin will be a bit crowded. It is inconvenient to take a comfortable position because of insufficient adjustments of seats. The adjustments themselves are too poor. Only the seat travel is adjustable.

Sitting behind is also not too comfortable. They rest against their backs in the front seats. And if the front seats were later replaced with more modern upgrades, then nothing could be done with the rear seats. Although the cabin is designed for five, the fifth will be very uncomfortable.

Carrying capacity and capabilities of the car IZH 2125 in addition to five passengers can accommodate up to 50 kg of various cargo. If you fold the rear seats, then the volume grows to 1.15 cubic meters. This allowed to carry on the car quite bulky cargo weighing up to 200 kg.

In this car at the level of the rear seats a regiment is organized. It can freely lay a cargo weighing up to 15 kg. In this case, the shelf completely closes the trunk. The reserve and the tool are hidden under the trunk floor. This is an excellent opportunity to repair cars even in the forest, and does not take a precious place.

Dashboard

The car IZH 2125 is equipped with the already traditional for the cars of this brand of instruments. Here all devices have indicator indicators. So, you can see the charging current, the amount of fuel, the temperature of the coolant, and the oil pressure level. The scales of all these devices are very easy to read. It is very convenient. But the gasoline generator slightly grafts.

For beginners or scattered drivers is a very convenient light bulb, indicating the tightened hand brake.

Controls

And if everything is fine with the pointers, then the controls are very scolded. On all switches - round handles. One control is very easy to confuse with others. This is especially easy in the dark. And before you can remember where everything is in this car, the driver will turn on the light each time using the windshield wiper handle. To avoid such absurdities, it would be necessary to somehow diversify the shape of the pens. This is an excellent opportunity to realize creative ideas for the car IZH 2125. Tuning gives the model a second life, a new appearance and ample opportunities.

Specifications

The length of the hatchback is 4205 mm, the width of the car is 1555 mm, and the height is 1500. The engine is an unmodified unit from the 412 th - UZAM 412.

The maximum possible speed is 145 km / h. The maximum torque is 108 Nm. The car is equipped with a rear-wheel drive, as well as a mechanical four-speed gearbox. The fuel consumption is 7.8 liters, if you move at a speed of 80 km / h, and in a mixed cycle of motion, appetites increase to 10 liters.

Suspension system - on the springs rear and front. The steering is represented by a pinion and a rod. The front brakes are disc brakes, the rear brakes are drum.

By its design, the model is maximally unified from the 412th. This allows to greatly facilitate the repair of cars.

The model got all the best that was and is in "Moskvich". This hydro-vacuum brake booster, safe door handles, new window regulators, special rear-view mirrors.

In addition, the cabin has an upgraded heater, which even more warms the passengers and the driver. Not only the heating system, but also the ventilation of the cabin was improved.

This car was appreciated. It really is universal and great for caravanning. Now it is a little outdated, but tuning specialists do not think so. And still here and there you can see this car on the roads. And you can buy spare parts for the IZH 2125 car now.
